The Arma 2 Official Website announces plans for Arma 2: British Armed Forces, which will offer new content for Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, Bohemia Interactive's expanded military shooter sequel. The DLC will include a new solo campaign, engine improvements, a new faction, new weapons and vehicles, and more when it is released on August 26 for GBP 7.99/EUR 8.99/USD 9.99. Word is: "The development of the brand new content has demanded engine updates, resulting in unique features and new gameplay options. The fully modelled artillery and mortar strikes and the extension of the engineer class to include new duties - such as vehicle repair and bomb disposal - add a new depth of realism to the most authentic mil-sim available."
